Yesterday Ulrich Bartholmoes aka "Uba" finished the 2023 Tour Divide in first place with a time of 14d 2h 23m.  For much of the race he was head of the record setting pace of Mike Hall.  In the end he would finish only 4.5 hours behind that record setting run.  Considering the rain, mud, and wind on this years Divide his time is beyond impressive.   I sat down with him the morning after his win at the Bike Ranch in Hachita, NM to capture this interview.
